Patch 4026 Released

21/dez/2016

Patch Summary

2016 was a very quiet year for Blade Symphony development, so we hoped to end it with an update. What will hopefully be one of numerous updates, entering into the New Year and beyond, we have brought achievements!

Our plans are to add more achievements, to honor those on Kickstarter that backed us at that level. However, what better way to get the ball rolling then to add a handful to begin with! In addition, we hope that we’ve tackled some good quality of life fixes that address some glaring issues.

EDIT: We've pushed a few fixes affecting how Bad Sportsmanship, Two For One, and Touchy Feely are earned.

Achievements

Added 25 new achievements.

See the complete list and descriptions.

Capes

Added Summer 2016 North American Tournament cape (Created by Jester)

Fixes

Fixed infamous “air stance” bug. Please let us know if you see this again.

Hi all, a quick deviation from Blade Symphony (I'll be bringing patch news as well as news of a competiton for Blade Symphony soon).

Galacide + DLCs are now on sale -80% off. We recently released the soundtrack for Galacide composed by Tom Stoffel (the same composer for Blade Symphony's sound track). If you haven't played Galacide why not give it a spin and if you're a big fan of Tom's work, the game + soundtrack is well worth it!

And Igno's stream can be viewed here: https://www.twitch.tv/igno1/v/79787269

I just want to thank all the players for competing and give a big thank you to everyone who helped in the tournament:ToxicRahmleeIgno MuffinApak Aliak EhotWhoartsTony PajamasKakkoiiSyndeywaffaJester

Bot Competition Results!

18/jul/2016

I would just like to say a huge thankyou to everyone who participated.

I was not looking for anything in particular and I didn't really have too much in mind when I made the competition apart from I wanted to A: Encourage players to load up the bots and see the new improvements and B: I wanted to observe other players fighting the bots. That's about it.

So before I get onto the winners, I would just like to announce that all entrants will recieve the 10,000 in-game notes.

Bot Video Competition!

10/jul/2016

Bot Video Competition!

Now you've got the patch with the new bots I want to see videos of you guys fighting the bots!

This patch features significant improvements to the training bot's behavior.I was very passionate about bot improvement during the early development stages of the game, but it was never something that featured high on our priority list. Recently I've been working on the bot on and off and slowly making some progress. I guess my main goal is to have a bot that is less predictable and more responsive, these two attributes are probably what were missing most. I've still got a long way to go before I achieve some of my own personal goals; however, I do feel the bot has now come a long way already.

I could list all the things I've improved with the bot but I think it would be more pleasing if you guys fired up the Training - AI Opponent and see for your selves. Simply choose an opponent, select the sword (Longsword, Scimitar, Rapier play the best Jian is also quite good and Katana probably takes the least effective award). You should leave the rest of the settings in the AI Opponent menu set to default or random. If you feel the bot is still to easy by all means step up and play 2 vs 1!

Here's an earlier video I showed before to some of you (the terri-bad quality one).

- Reduction of Notes for all Official items -

I've decided to cut the price (Notes) of all the official items by -50%(for those that don't know they're not micro-transactions, you just have to win on duel ranked servers to gain them).

- Capes -

I've added four new purchasable capes to the game:

I decided to make two traditional looking capes and two high tech capes, I hope you'll enjoy them!

Lastly...

-Tournament Capes -

30 players from the last tournament should all now receive their unique capes. Thanks to Hikki.exe and ManOfHonor for designing and organising them.

Here's a list of the players who won a cape in the tournament:https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ryokuclanrecruits/discussions/0/357286119117165732/

Sorry, no balancing this patch ːriotː, maybe the next one. Also I started to work on adding faction specific character selection music and meditation music, but I haven't finish that yet ːvlcː.
